Mean regional values of the instantaneous and steady-state shear moduli of each disc region when strained in the anterior-to-posterior direction and the medial-to-lateral direction. The anterior and central regions experienced a significant decrease in shear modulus when strained in the anterior-posterior (A-P) direction. This increased elasticity was not seen in the posterior region (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01).
